about

For all wage slaves everywhere, those stuck eking out a living in cramped knowledge work cubicles or forever commuting to and from beige offices in dull grey buildings, this one’s for you. This is a love letter, nay, a secret mixtape created and composed for all workers dying inside at dead-end jobs that require much, but remunerate very little, leaving nothing but exhausted husks at the end of the day. I, too, was one of you. I know your pain. I’ve lived your life and been laid off, and been tossed out like wilted lettuce at the tail end of a buffet. You are worth more than your job. You are worth more than the world. Lift your head up high, and know that there is hope. I don’t know exactly where it is, but it’s out there.

Corporate/Vapor/Wave is the second installment in a series that seeks to encapsulate the stifling, caged existence of the wage worker within the confines of music. This is partly a vaporwave album, partly a retrowave 80s style nostalgic throwback album, partly a collection of sad quiet wordless ballads inspired by the best TV show about office life there is: Severance, and it is partly a funeral dirge for the death of creativity and soul within the workplace. But it is all heartfelt, every note.

Sounds like: Air, Boards of Canada, Kmart shopping music, elevator muzak,
